The Merchant

Interpreters mention that if a merchant sees a dream related to an elder, their trade may multiply, as the elder in interpretation is considered a symbol of a man's diligence and zeal. If the elder takes something from the dreamer's hand, it may indicate the help and strength the merchant receives in their endeavors.
